Ensuring that AUCD 2022 is Accessible to All

While we hope to see all members, partners, and friends in-person this November, we understand that not everyone is comfortable or able to travel to Washington, DC. Inclusion is at the core of AUCD’s mission which is why we want to give everyone the opportunity to access our main Plenary sessions and AUCD's Awards Celebration. A special thanks to the AUCD 2022 Accessibility Sponsor, Microsoft, for supporting livestreaming at the Conference. 

Virtual Livestreaming Registration Includes:

• Monday: Opening Plenary
• Tuesday Plenary: Leading Change Sessions
• Tuesday: AUCD Awards Ceremony
• Wednesday: Closing Plenary (To be held at the Marquis - This Plenary will not be recorded)
